Who’s got the heart pills? 26-33 as Goosen slots it
Freegin hell, what a good finish!
My Bru not too bad… I said 4, in the end it was 7
Staat! Staat! All hail the Staat!
Now there is no saffer team at the bottom of the log
Thank the pope that sleeping pills wear off pretty quickly, and the Cheetahs woke up just before the final whistle. Boy Cheetahs, you had my little ticker going there. Don’t do it again!!!
Cheetahs should have been 2 from 2 on this tour so far, if it was not for that idiot ref last week.
Anyhow well done Cheetahs.
3 from 3 from the saffa sides against over the overseas sides this week. Well done to all of us …… hehe.

Thats an awesome weekend for SA teams, didn’t lose a match!
Staat woke me up good and proper with that close win at the death. Boys sure know how to mess with a guy!
I’m so glad for the Cheetahs!
157@ Puma:Not sure why the repeat at the end there??
@ Puma:
Don’t worry Puma, old chum. It’s just an age thing.
22 Log points for Saffa sides this weekend!
155@ The_Young_Turk:Feels great to see that.
@ Puma:
For some of us, like you for instance, it just comes sooner than for others
163@ grootblousmile:Yip, well done to all of us that played. Stormers, Sharks and Cheetahs held the saffa flag high this weekend.
Now for next weekend, hope we all do it again. Well the saffa sides that are playing the overseas sides.
165@ The_Young_Turk:
162@ The_Young_Turk:hahahaha. Think it is gbs’s site no doubt.
@ Puma:
Important week next week for our teams. Bulls have to see that Reds drop their second match. Lions have to see if they have improved or are still shyte, Staat have to beat the Saders and Sharkies start their tour…
Only 2 unbeaten sides left in the Comp… Landers & Stormers
Cheers all, have a leaker day. Sun out here, going to be a lazy day by the pool for me!
Predictive text – leaker = lekker
Phweeew, tough one next week for the Staat…. it’s against the Crusaders
172 @ Just For Kicks:
Tjorts!
@ Just For Kicks:
Thanks mate, you deserve a lazy day!
ok ciao a tutti. And Smiles, you can just transfer some property into my name
176 @ The_Young_Turk:
Ciao King Fruit!
169@ The_Young_Turk:Will be tougher for all of us next week, but heck if we can do it one week we could again. Hoping.
Also have to see who is injured after this weekend. Especially with my Sharks. We had plenty coming off for injury. Really hope that JPP is okay and can travel. He was missed yesterday. Really think JPP and Whitehead gel well together at centre. With Whitehead having to go to outside centre and Bosman back at 12 it never worked as well with Bosman again. Anyhow just keeping fingers crossed no injuries.
Bulls just HAVE to beat the Reds next week. Their conference is a easy one and they will land up getting a home semi if the away teams don’t keep on beating them. So will be cheering for Bulls to beat them next week.
178 @ Puma:
Yip, Goooooooooooo Bulllllllllllls!
Will be a biggie too between the Lions and Stormers, but Stormers SHOULD take it
171@ Just For Kicks:
Cheers JFK.
Okay everyone, I am out of here too. Cheers and have a great day. After the rain last night everything is so lekker outside. Love the day after the rain.
Catch up next weekend or during the week if I have time.
